## What it is
Guzzle is an extensible PHP HTTP client for sending HTTP requests and integrating with web services. It supports synchronous and asynchronous requests, PSR-7/PSR-18 interoperability, and a composable middleware system.

## Use cases
- call REST APIs from PHP
- send HTTP requests with cookies and JSON
- stream large file uploads and downloads
- make asynchronous HTTP requests in PHP
- build a client for a third-party web service
- add custom middleware to HTTP requests

## When to choose
- you need a mature, widely-adopted PHP HTTP client
- you want PSR-7/PSR-18 interoperability
- you need async and sync requests through one interface
- you want transport-agnostic code (cURL, streams, etc.)

## When to avoid
- you are not working in PHP
- you need a full browser-like scraping engine with JavaScript rendering
- you want a zero-dependency minimal HTTP wrapper

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: http-client, middleware, web-scraping
- domain: web-development, backend, apis, developer-tools
- platform: php, cross-platform
- tags: psr-7, psr-18, curl, async-requests, composer, rest-client
